    campin and fishin

    Hey i was wanting to know if there is any place around here or near pensacola that I can set up a tent on the beach and fish. I wanted to go catch some sharks and stay overnight but wanted to sleep when needed maybe camp a couple days or so. Thanks

    Fort Pickens used to have a campground, but I don't know of anywhere you can just set up a campsite on the beach.

    I'm afraid camping on the beach has gone to the land of the nickle candy bar. Gone, Gone.

    Oh how I miss the Good Old Days!

    In the mid '80s, the red sticker (top center of windshield) was $10 per year and permitted driving on beach, camping, whatever at Johnson Beach, Fl.

    I believe primitive camping (and shark fishing) is allowed at Johnson's Beach, Gulf Islands National Seashore, in Perdido Key, FL. It is about 10-15min. or so past the Flora-Bama.
    Park near the end of the main road and walk east past the "camping allowed" sign.
    a camping permit is required, available at the entrance gate.
